The Amazon-owned Souq.com has launched a new Kindle featuring a front light, marking the first time the illumination tech has been included in the firm's entry-level ereader.
The new Kindle replaces the ereader with the same name (but no light), with the price increasing to AED 359 – the previous Kindle was AED 259.
You'll be able to adjust the brightness of the light on-screen, allowing you to find the most comfortable level for your surroundings.
Other features on the new Kindle 2019 include Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to pair it with headphones or a speaker for audiobook playback, an updated design and a 6-inch, 167ppi E Ink display.
The screen isn't as sharp as the 300ppi display on the Kindle Paperwhite, but considering that the Paperwhite is almost double the price of the new Kindle that's no surprise.
Available from April 10
Amazon also promises that the new Kindle can still offer weeks of battery life from a single charge, which is good news for bookworms.
Unlike its pricier siblings however, the new Kindle isn't waterproof, so you'll want to be careful if you plan to take it by the pool when on holiday.
You can order the new Kindle 2019 in either black or white.
